Académico and Pimento are a young duo who head up the Mapiko drumming and dancing youth group and choir on Ibo Island. They cannot speak English but after a bit of research, they co-wrote a song which has seriously quirky appeal. A line from the song reads: "My most wonderful baby my wife... I want to marry you very well". Academico is one of the local teachers on the island. He says that about half the island's population is made up of young people. His artist name is the combination of the first letter of each family member's name. Pemento has just moved to the island and one of the highlights for him is learning the art of Mapiko drumming.

Academico & Pimento - Marry Very Well

Llankay is Art in Motion’s debut album under his new musical direction. The 11-track production is filled to the brim in
deep house beats wrapped around hypnotic synths and organic bass grooves. The album’s title track, “Llankay,” is
surrounded with multi-dimensional sounds that will completely take over and entrance the listener, which is a true
testament to the rest of the album. Standout tracks are “Marrie” and “Alegra,” two charming tech beats that provide
audiophiles with something to clench onto. “Light Shadow,” a sexy, cinematic deep techno anthem, follows in their
footsteps. “Ritual” is another solid piece, focusing on hypnotic synths that don’t quit. All in all, Llankay is a cohesive unit
of sounds that will make techno lovers everywhere rejoice. Llankay will be released on Plano B Records, Art in Motion’s very own imprint based in Rio de Janeiro. It will be available to purchase on all major digital stores in February.
